    You know what the Bible did again? It predicted the end of the world, THIS time in 2017.

    It must be true this time

    We've got until August which sucks because Star Wars Episode 8 is not out until December.

    That is sick and horrifying. Like, it shouldn't even be in this thread, because that seems to trivialize it.

    Mostly it's politics and religion here in this thread. I do not recall the last time something directly corporate came up, usually it's to do with lobbyists or something.

    Behold the corporate mind set. McDonalds wanted a location in the Piazza del Duomo, right there in Florence Italy. They were turned down. So Mickey Dees is suing Florence for money they will "lose" over the next 18 years

    So, money that you aren't going to make now becomes a part of your loss? hehehahahahahAHAHHAHAHA WTF

    -------------------------

    Oh yay there's more.

    "Obama did not win a single state where voter ID is required."

    FALSE

    That and "This could be the last Christmas and the last time we can say Jesus" are available here:

    You can still say Jesus as an expletive. I shall demonstrate.

    Jesus Christ.

    ------------------------------------------------

    Is there climate change? Of course there’s climate change. Any point in time, temperatures are going up or temperatures are going down. Of course that’s happening. When that stops happening, that’s when we’re in big trouble.

    As far as evolution is concerned, you know, I do believe in micro-evolution, or natural selection, but I believe that God gave the creatures he made the ability to adapt to their environment. Because he’s very smart and he didn’t want to start over every 50 years.

    My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain. Now all the archaeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs’ graves. But, you know, it would have to be something awfully big — when you stop and think about it, and I don’t think it’d just disappear over the course of time — to store that much grain. -

    I actually have something I would use the Department of Education to do. It would be to monitor our institutions of higher education for extreme political bias and deny federal funding if it exists. -

    .I just. Those are just a few quotes from Ben Carson, some of which have been posted here. I just thought you might want to see them again because...

    http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2016/11/report-trump-taps-ben-carson-for-secretary-of-education/]Ben Carson is on Trump's list as a possible candidate for the Secretary of Education

    ...

    Just when I had gotten into an argument with my niece because I had used the word "asexual" when talking about biology. She's already super uptight about freakin everything. If Carson gets a hold of her already-cruddy-ass schooling, she's not gonna learn a damn thing.

    I posted Pence's anti-science rant before. Here is a detailed refutation.

    In You're Not Helping news:

    A "rape Melania" sign popped up at a trump protest

    -----------------------------------

    "Third Eagle of the Apocalypse". "Co Prophet of these End Times". Well, he says Donald is controlled by the Illuminati.



    The painting. It must be true!

    To borrow one of AFS's favorite sayings, "Oh, hell," to the above. I hope this gets widespread media overage (don't join them, shame them).

    I think perhaps people do not realize that if this god were real they qualify as pure evil

    See, God will just kill those who are not involved with what you did because sin.

    “I don’t know whether our friend who wrote this question lost his child in miscarriage as a direct discipline from God because of his pornography,” Piper continued. “I do not know. He does not know. I do know that in the loss of the child, God wills a new humility and a new submission and a new faith and new purity through the pain of this loss.”
    “Whether he knew it was or wasn’t, the lesson remains the same: The Lord gives and the Lord has taken away,” Piper said.

    Anti-Vaxx group is a tad mad that the study they funded debunks them

    Oops lol.

    The study, which took place over the course of about 6 years, focused on behavioral changes in baby monkeys when they were given vaccines. The study’s findings appeared in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and to the surprise of no one (except science-denying loons), there was no link between vaccines and autism.

    It's gone national. The official who posted the original post has been put on leave. The mayor has resigned.

    Texas

    But, what happened to keeping government out of people's lives?

    Senate Bill 242 notes that personal information about a child, including their gender identity and sexuality, must be disclosed to their parents, otherwise educators risk facing disciplinary action.
    According to the bill’s language, parents are entitled to all records “relating to the child’s general physical, psychological or emotional well-being.”
    LGBTQ youth in Texas then run the risk of being placed in “reparative therapy” programs — otherwise known as “conversion therapy” — which are administered on the basis that homosexuality is a mental health issue.

    Not directly related, but kinda sorta maybe. We have a court case in MN right now with a 17 year old transgendered student who is beginning medical transition without parental consent. She is being treated as an emancipated child medically even though she is not legally emancipated. (I'm surprised there is a doctor willing to risk such action.) The mother is fighting it - she is actually supportive of her child transitioning, but she just wants her to wait until she's 18. Mother and child have a good relationship, just a disagreement over when the medical transition should start. I've been following this young person for a while now, beginning with controversy over school locker rooms.

    That's what it's for! It's like the Holy Hand Grenade but it's a squirt bottle. Look at the first pic in the link, it's sitting right there on the left next to the crucifix.

    “He will be your president and if you do not like that, you need to go to another country.”
    He also went on to criticize anti-Trump protestors and those who kneel during the National Anthem as a protest, according to the station.
    “I detest that, because you can protest things that happen in this country; you have every right to,” “You don't do that by offending national symbols like the national anthem and the flag of the United States.”

    Who said this?

    Why that would be a Texas judge presiding over naturalization.

    ----------------

    I hate watching examples of Alex Jones as he makes me gag, but apparently one of the Kings of fake news is Announcing a Fake Analysis Center

    Oh yes, the guy who says mass shootings in this country were the work of the Obama admin in order to take guns away from people is gonna track down fake news.

    All those Clinton voters?

    Yeah, Jim Bakker says God talked to him and Clinton voters are gonna get earthquakes. Perhaps he should look at this as a golden opportunity to sell Clinton voters his emergency food supplies.

    I wondered when Elon Musk would get attacked like this

    Laura Ingram, who might become Trump's press secretary, in the head hancho of a smear group. The Big Lie hard at work.

    For example, they say they are against “Big Energy” in their manifesto, but in the section about ‘Big Energy’ they only attack the solar industry because they receive tax breaks. Does the solar industry really represent “Big Energy”? If your goal is really to attack energy subsidies, solar and renewable energy subsidies should be your last target considering their share of federal subsidies:

    They claim that:
    “Elon Musk has defrauded the American Taxpayer out of over $4.9 Billion in the form of subsidies, grants, and other favors.”

    This $4.9 Billion figure has been thoroughly debunked. It includes hypothetical tax breaks that Tesla could receive 20 years from now, discounted loans that Tesla long ago paid back in full and in advance, and even money from programs that Tesla never receives, but customers can potentially benefit from.
